Hatuey Laraque-Two Elk

I'm just a regular guy who chooses health and fitness. As a kid, my dad got out of the Army and had us running regularly at 9000 ft of elevation in Colorado. Those experiences pushed my threshold for discomfort. When I became an adult, I developed more discipline and mental toughness. Realizing the benefits, I found a passion in helping others find their own strength. Being a father, it's also my duty to lead by example, be here for my family, and pass on good health and fitness habits!

At 46, I'm focused on functional movement, strength,and longevity. At a young age, my dad told me I should become hard to kill. I apply that by making myself resistant to injury and chronic disease with healthy habits. I challenge myself to complete events that test me physically and mentally. I've done obstacle course races, road bike races, and other challenging events. I like to lift weights, run, road bike, mountain bike, backpack, ruck, and anything that makes me want to quit.

First, I would hold complete gratitude and send that out into the world. I would set a portion of it for my young kids, to create savings for them. I would buy a full cow, so our family would have plenty of beef for a while. Then, I would invest into my business, to expand my impact in the community and help youth. If there was any left after that, I would take my family on a small vacation. Building my business has been tough. Taking my family on a little adventure would fill my heart.
